Hypothesis – Question we want to answer – Is texting being used to exclude people? (has it become a cult)? Is it affecting academic behaviour?
Element – 3 proper interviews (public), visible interviewer/presenter (makes it more relaxed and fun). Title sequence – Different phones showing the title “The Joy Of Text”, The Matrix introduction? Actuality – talking to the public. Archive is better to be recreated. The story will come out of the question.
30 seconds of something before the title sequence – 15-20 second title. 1 min of in depth background which leads onto the first interview secondary school teacher interview and then youth interview. Presenter break up.
Youth breakdown of a sentence, teacher breakdown the same message.
(Break ups – something to do with the generation)
Interview middle aged public (business section)
University lecturer interview
Public interview older person
Original decoding segment.
Conclusion.
217 million texts a day in the UK. 6.5 billion texts per month in the UK.
When did phones come in. The advance in technology. How did it happen? Is it a good thing?
The pre-title should be a real, strong opening 'tease'to the programme - be creative with it and SET THE TONE for the film. Good basic structure here but will eventually need to be structured by CONTENT not necessarily CONTRIBUTOR - bear this in mind as it will affect what you get each contributor to do in case it affects your overall narrative (i.e. you need to know what they are saying when to be sure that you have them in the right location at the right time!)
